Human History

It should be noted and this point of view that the history of society, the content of which is a class struggle, began with their appearance, the creation of expressing the will of the ruling class state, ie about five or six thousand years ago. For example, Karl Jaspers distinguishes between prehistory and about 5,000 years known to us for this documentary in history when "almost simultaneously in three regions of the world's most ancient cultures there. This is, firstly, Sumerian-Babylonian and Egyptian culture and the Aegean world from 4000 BC, and second, opened in the excavation of pre-Aryan Indus Valley culture of the Third Millennium (associated with Sumer), and thirdly, vaguely skvozyaschy in his memoirs, has left scant traces of the archaic world of China's second millennium BC (And probably even earlier). " Only then we can talk about the history of civilizations, because the word itself is derived from the Latin cives – citizen, civilis – civilian, that is, presupposes the existence of classes, state and law. However, thus excluded from the history of four millenniums previous stage, which was of decisive importance in the fate of humanity and in shaping structure of society – a stage that began with the Neolithic revolution. World-historical importance of this great upheaval recognized an absolute majority of social scientists. Our view is that reading the history of society should be conducted with the Neolithic revolution (which initiated the first neolithic civilization), which was preceded by a transitional Mesolithic period. Consequently, the actual history of the company (without transition) has about ten thousand years – an insignificant moment in the history of the geological history of Earth, but a huge, full of radical change the path traversed by mankind.
